Hi-Wire Brewing’s October Releases

It’s going to be a good month for Hi-Wire fans! The brewery announced today three beers that are scheduled to hit shelves during the month of October, some old stand-by favorites as well as a new one from their Sour and Wild Ale program that I think sounds pretty delicious!

Strongman

5.3% ABV

Milk Stout with Coffee

Uses Honduran Coffee Roasted Locally by Dynamite Roasting Co.

6 Packs and Draft Starting October 13th

Inspired by head brewer Luke Holgate’s cafe con leche-fueled travels in Key West, has become one of the most anticipated seasonals from Hi-Wire Brewing. A Mexican and Honduran blend of locally roasted coffee from Dynamite Roasting Co. is cold extracted and added post fermentation to this sweet, creamy beer. With huge notes of coffee and latte sweetness, this beer is perfect for brunch.

Twice As Nice

10% ABV

Doppelbock

6 Packs and Draft Starting October 23rd

Inspired by a traditional German doppelbock, Twice As Nice is a robust lager. Despite its full flavor and high alcohol, this beer was lagered for more than 8 weeks to make it light on the palate and incredibly smooth. Expect Vienna and Munich malt to contribute subtle flavors of fig, plum and chocolate to this big, yet easy-drinking beer.

Located in Asheville, NC, Hi-Wire Brewing is known for producing approachable and balanced lagers and ales, most notably Hi-Wire Lager, Bed of Nails Brown, and Hi Pitch Mosaic IPA. They have two locations in Asheville: the 27,000 square foot Big Top Production Facility & Taproom located half a mile from the Biltmore Estate and the South Slope Specialty Brewery & Taproom located in the South Slope area of downtown, which has a focus on wild and sour ales. Hi-Wire was awarded the most medals at the 2014 NC Brewer’s Cup and was named Best New North Carolina Brewery of 2013 by RateBeer.
